December in Banbury

We've been keeping busy in December. Lucas has been growing up very quickly. We bought him some Renault 'children's' clothes. The T-shirt is for ages 4 and up, the cap for ages 3-6. As you can see.... it doesn't look out of place on him at the moment.



Lucas has now decided to move beyond his 'Tommy Tippees' for drinking from.. and he wants to drink straight from the bottle like a big boy. We decided to start off small.



Auntie Abi dropped in for a visit. And Lucas got given a bit reindeer balloon for Christmas from one of his friends at playgroup (well.. parents of a friend of his.. because if the child itself had earnt the money it would have been child exploitation).



We were fortunate enough to attend a wedding at Mansfield College in Oxford. The chapel in the College was absolutely beautiful.

















By this stage, Lucas had decided that he needed to drink from an even bigger water bottle.



Lucas then had a big Christmas party at the local National Childbirth Trust drop-in... featuring his favourite.. a big bouncy castle!



Moments after these photos were taken Lucas took a swan-dive off the edge of the Castle causing a big lump on his forehead (and lots of tears). He follewed this up a few days later by being so excited to see Mummy through the front window of our house that he walked straight into a wall.... clever boy. His forehead currently resembles the Himalayas.

Oh.. and I've put on the video of Lucas and his water bottle.
